May Our Sons Never Meet

Today I met another Blue Star Mom. She came to our shop, we began to chat. She told me her son was a Navy Seal and now he is a surgeon in Afghanistan. Her eyes quickly took on the glassy-look, I know all too well. She shared with me that she is more scared for her son now, than she ever has been during his missions as a Navy Seal. This mom told me how much her heart hurts, how deeply she fears for her son's safety. We exchanged a hug. She told me, "I hope my son never meets your son."

lily...thank you so much. unfortunately, when B comes home it is a direct flight to Hill AFB. I was so blessed to see him before he departed in BWI! Now it is waiting until he has leave to come home for a few days....it's all good!

Airman's Creed

The Airman’s CreedI am an American Airman.
I am a warrior.
I have answered my nation’s call.
I am an American Airman.
My mission is to fly, fight, and win.
I am faithful to a proud heritage,
A tradition of honor,
And a legacy of valor.
I am an American Airman,
Guardian of freedom and justice,
My nation's sword and shield,
Its sentry and avenger.
I defend my country with my life.
I am an American Airman:
Wingman, leader, warrior.
I will never leave an Airman behind,
I will never falter,
And I will not fail.
